Luke said in a quiet voice that he was mocking himself.
"... Everyone can be frustrated by jealousy and anxiety. Of course, that's me too, and I won't tell you, but I'm sure Chloe's the same."
"Yes... I guess. I don't think Chloe has any connection to jealousy."
Always kind Chloe. I can't even think about where she would be jealous of someone.
But Luke shook his head sideways.
"No one is jealous or anxious. They vary in size, but I don't think it's possible not to."
"... Luke gets jealous too?
"I don't think anyone envies people as much as I do?
……
Returned the rush and looked out for him. Luke laughs bitterly.
"I'm the one who lost my parents, lost even a place to live, and was picked up one step before I died. I thank you every day for the luck you picked up on your daughter, but the basics, the world can only be jealous. I'm just taking care not to show it. And I think it's the same for everyone else."
"Yes..."
If Luke says so, I'm sure he does.
"In that sense, isn't it a bad choice for a young lady who came home not wanting to show Chloe the ugliness? If you feel sorry for Chloe, you should calm down a little bit and then apologize and follow up elsewhere."
What Luke said, most of all. I nodded deeply to Luke.
"You're right. I can't help but regret that I couldn't... I will"
To Chloe, I think I'm really sorry. So let's definitely help her next time. I decided in my heart that I would never run away then.
"All you have to do is talk to His Highness Alan."
"To Al?
Luke said with a clear face as Al's name came out and circled his eyes.
"Yeah, be sure to consult with His Highness Alan as well. Otherwise, when I find out later, I feel like I'm going to be told I don't like ticks." Aside from me being my husband, you're the only one who hears Lili's troubles. What the hell do you mean? 'Look, don't you think you can even imagine the dialogue?
"... pup"
I'm sorry, but I laughed.
Really, because I felt like I was going to say exactly what Luke said.
"Your Highness Alan will take care of the lady. I couldn't get that lady to talk to me, and I thought," Oh, my God, I'm sure I'd be obstinate. "
"I can't believe you're obstinate. But... okay. I'll talk to Al properly."
To tell the truth, I don't want them to know much. Because it's hard for someone who likes to see their ugly parts. But I also knew Al was thinking of me, and that he wanted me to talk to him when I had to, and most importantly, I decided to follow Luke's advice because I felt like I was really obstinate.
"I didn't."
"Thanks, Luke"
I thank Luke for saying it with a serious face.
I guess thanks to what I told Luke. I felt much lighter when I realized it.
It's getting a little warm, but I reach for a cup of tea.
"I feel a little blown out. It sounds stupid that I was worried about glue."
"Yeah, troubles don't suit a lady."
"... I wonder what that means"
"Come on?"
"You never praised me, did you?"
Staring at Luke, he looked at him deliberately as "outrageous".
"I'm going to compliment you on being simple and easy to understand."
"I knew you weren't praising me!
Stare at Luke, who flushes with a smile. My butler has a really good personality.
"... already. Oh, yeah. Let's go to the library for a change of mood."
We still have time for dinner. You can talk to Luke here, but it should be easier to change your mood and move somewhere else than that.
"I had a book to read... well, that's not too bad"
It will be a long time ago, but I remember there was a book in the library that I was reading, and I got up off the couch. Luke slowly withholds.
"Here you go."
"Yeah, please"
"Nah."
He looks up at me like Noel went with him. The crushed eyes were adorable and it made me pathetic to leave them, but Noel has a priori that in the meantime, when I took him to the library, he tore through precious books. You should keep him away for a while. "Be a good boy," he stroked his little head, taking only Luke to the library.
"Oh?"
The library, which I haven't visited in days, had my father and brother Hugo. They seem to be talking about something with a serious face.
Am I in the way? When I thought so, my father, who noticed me, called out.
"Oh, Lili. You're home already?
"Yes. I didn't even say hello home, and I'm sorry. Well, if I disturb you, I'll leave..."
"No, I wasn't talking to you in confidence. You should come here, too."
"Yes, excuse me"
You invited me, so I go to my fathers' side.
But Brother Hugo and Father. I wonder what the hell you were talking about.
I wonder if my older brother would have even forced me to have a new tea bowl, but my older brother won't even have a tea party these days, and he has less interest in such things than before in itself. So I seriously didn't get it.
Tilting his neck, Brother Hugo said, "Do you care?" I've heard it in a pleasant tone. Nod at it.
"Yes."
"Yes. Then I'll tell you. I'm not saying right now, but I'm going up to the castle."
"Huh? To the castle, is it?
I don't think it's a word out of my brother, and I hear it back. Brother Hugo affirmed with a laugh of couscous.
"Yeah. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get a cage in the mansion. So I was talking to your father."
……
My brother had a mild tone, but I knew how amazing it was, I accidentally turned my attention to my father. My father meets me in the eye and nods slowly.
"True. Get help from Hugo. He was talking about it."
"Is it from your brother?
"Oh."
That is all the more surprising.
Unlike Brother Victor, Brother Hugo, who found no significance in working for the castle, never changed his life, no matter how many times he had been told before. I can't believe the brother said he was going up to the castle from himself.
Staring at his brother even as he was stunned, he said slightly awkward.
"Well, sort of. I didn't think it would be a good idea for me to stay that way forever. I was aware of it, but I guess I felt I was out of my sight. But I met that pussycat, and he changed my mind. So, be a little self-absorbed. When things changed, I thought I might try castle work, which I couldn't, yeah, I didn't even think I'd do."
"Huh? Did you want to work for the castle because you abandoned yourself?
I can't keep up with Brother Hugo's super theory.
I abandoned myself, so I worked at the castle. I wonder what kind of thought circuit you would be in, and that would be the conclusion.
But my brother was serious.
"That's right. 'Cause otherwise, you're not gonna tell me I'm working in a castle, are you?
"That's true...... yes"
I couldn't deny it. That's about it, because what my brother said was incredible, impossible.
But I only know that this incident has been a good cut for my brother.
'Cause so did I. You have the courage to change yourself anyway.
It's hard to take a step without some kind of cut. That was Al in my case, but I guess my brother was Noel.
My brother says with a gentle grin.
"True, I can't believe it myself. I can't believe I'm working in a castle. If I worked in a castle, I would do it even though I knew I would have fewer fun tea parties."
"You haven't had a tea party lately, have you?"
"Ma, I am. That must be Lili with you, right?
"... Yes"
To my brother's point, I nodded honestly.
My brother and I used to go to tea parties on a regular basis, just for fun.
Now I don't even want to open it anymore.
"My brother... won't my brother have a tea party anymore?
"Hmm. That's fun with that one, but now I guess it feels good"
"Really?"
"I still like to love beautiful things, and that doesn't change, but anyway, I thought I'd like to expand the world."
"The world, is it?
When I asked back, my brother nodded with a serious face.
"Yes. There was something about Noel, and I thought there might be more beautiful things in the world that I hadn't noticed before. That's what I want to know. But you can't do that as it is now. You won't be able to see it forever when you're in a drawer cage in the mansion. … I wonder if this is the best reason to try working in a castle."
"Dear brother..."
My brother had changed more than I thought.
Before I knew it, my brother thought of things himself and was about to move on.
Staring at my brother in an incredible way, my father, who was listening, laughed happily.
"I didn't think having a cat would have this effect on Hugo. Well done, Lili."
"No... I, nothing"
I'm glad you compliment me, but I didn't do anything.
Brother Hugo has changed because of his own power and has nothing to do with me.
My brother changed himself. Unlike me, who couldn't even move without Al, my brother could have noticed for himself.
